ENISA and the Cyber Threat Puzzle: Can Europe Stay Ahead? Jo De Muynck on a holistic approach to cybersecurity

Cyber threats are no longer isolated incidents. They are interconnected, fast-evolving, and increasingly shaped by global instability.
At Cybersec Europe 2026 in Brussels on May 20 and 21, 2026, Jo De Muynck from European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) explains why a fragmented approach to cybersecurity is no longer enough and what a truly holistic strategy looks like.
